Broadcast, Tech Theatre I and II, Fine Arts Survey, Speech, Tech Team Leader

My name is Julie Edwards and, yes, I am a Parkway graduate, class of 76. I've been teaching at PHS since 1984. I consider this home. I have a beautiful daughter, Ms. Phillips, who teaches across the hall from me. I am very blessed. I also have a grand puppy, Allie (her own instagram is allie_the_aussie) and a cute little mini sheltie, Kelly Kelly. I received my Masters Degree from Northeast La. University in 1984. Along my path, I also went to Centenary, BPCC, and La. Tech. While at PHS, I have written and received many grants, either for the KPAW class or equipment for the Theatre. I am the director of the play "Beyond the Grave" since 2000 at Word of Life Center. I am also the lighting designer for Emmett Hook Center which is located at the First United Methodist Church downtown and the lighting designer for Shreveport Little Theatre. I love to be spontaneous and have fun. I have created the curriculum for Tech Theatre I/II and Broadcasting classes. I hope this gives you some insight on me! I LOVE sharks, Harry Potter, Disney and Universal! Can't wait to have you in class.
Mrs. Julie "Jedi" Edwards
